No words can express my gratitude for the video.

There used to be a great free app for Android called Speakpic, that did a passable job of animating a photo (with blinking eyes, motion, etc) and even allowed built-in text to speech. For quick results it was amazing. Sadly, it simply stopped working and the developer abandoned it.

I wish someone would release something else like Speakpic and keep it FREE.

Great tutorial. Much appreciated!

[bash_content]

Thank you so much for the video. Great tutorial even for the course! For free is just beyond any expectations

[BLIV_IT_IN]

I love your video, I followed it from start to finish and created an amazing little talking video of einstein. Your a genius. Thankyou so much... The video certainly deserves a follow.

[UltimateMysteriesQuest-sh]

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I am looking for! Appreciate your video a lot! Subscribed to you! May you continue to do the good work! More power to you! God Bless Us!

[saurabhverma]

Omg !!!! It worked 😄
I tried so many things, none of them worked

[patriceblanc]

A lot of thanks for this tutoriel.
I have created an avatar with your clear explanations !!

[piyushnishandar]

superb, , , great lid movement is necessary though for more accuracy and a natural feel.

[Equilibrier]

It's really great what you have here, but what about the eyes expression, they are too static. Could you think about a solution for those as well ?

[RepliQvideos]

Just wanted to say, your video's got us intrigued. Our tool also turns photos into talking videos, with a cool feature to customize the background. Ever tried something like that?

[troyX]

Great video, works as intended. Thanks man :)

[negociosdelaeradigital]

Thank you for the video. I have a question, do you have any other website or alternative to enhance the video avatar's quality?

[DIW]

Is it not working anymore?

At 3.Play result video - 50% scaling part, then press "Play" I get this error:

FileNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)

I get this Error... Anyone know why please? ValueError: --face argument must be a valid path to video/image file

[technologyupdates]

First of all, Thank you for this amazing channel and great work.

I have followed your steps to create an animated IA Avatar, I managed to get the output of the video, but the result wasn't great at all because my Avatar was talking from his nose :)

Could you please guide me in how to fix this issue ?

[wilhelmhagberg]

Very cool & helpful. Would it be possible to have the avatar lipsynch and move with the audio & video from a filmed person in one go?

[stevenpittman]

Thank you, this was perfect. You delivered everything you said you would. It's all free 🙏🏿

[davefellows]

Thanks for the great video, nice job! If one was wanting to make a talking avatar of a real person, presumably you could just record a short video which could include blinking and real head movement so it looks more realistic and natural? Also, do you know if Wav2Lip can work in realtime i.e. so you can ask questions and have the avatar respond?

[NABZ]

Awesome! Do you know a similar tool like wave2Lip, but to blink the eyes? From my point of view, this is the only missing piece to create a realistic avatar for free :) By the way, the MP4 generated by LeiaPix is not the quality than you. I tried with a couple of pictures on input, and the video is jerky a lot. Will try later to see it was a temporary issue on their side.

[FriedBaconRPG]

FINALLY something not freaking D-ID X_X, even if it doesnt work for my purposes, great to see someone trying something different..., do you know if it's possible to import the lip tool into a python so it can do the lip animation on the fly?
